About this 3D model

The order needed a hunter who could match what was coming. So they sent eight men into the deep with a contract written on bone. Six did not come back. The two who did brought back a skull — a thing the order had not given a name to, because no one in living memory had ever seen one this size standing. They did not bury it. They rebuilt it. The legs were forged in the under-foundries beneath the cathedral. The jaw still hums with the breath of the thing it used to belong to. The mounted cannons were Guntar's design — he refused to sign his name to them. The rider, Hunterlando, was the only hunter mad enough to climb on. He says he did not break the beast. He says the beast was already broken; he only finished it. When the Ossarium hunts a god, they send a man. When a god hunts the Ossarium, they send Hunterlando. The eighth hunter has ridden out of the dark. May Campaign — closing wave. Sculpted, lored, and printed in-house at Barbaross Miniature. Hunterlando Biggujaw sits on a reclaimed/rebuilt boss creature: skull-jaw front, six hydraulic legs, mounted cannons on the back, and a rider holding an axe overhead. Lore-wise, the order took the skull of something they killed and rebuilt it as a war-mount. The mechanical legs are deliberately mismatched scale to the organic skull/fur — wanted the silhouette to read as stitched, not designed. The honest part of this post: splitting this for resin was the hardest cut job I've done on a sculpt. The challenge wasn't volume, it was the geometry overlap — the cannons cross over the legs, the legs cross under the fur skirt, the rider's axe overhangs the entire jaw. I ended up cutting it into [keep this generic / fill in based on your actual cut count] discrete parts with locator pegs at every junction so it goes together exactly once and never moves. Almost re-sculpted some of the joins twice because the first cut planes left fragile resin walls. If anyone's done a similar mount-piece split, genuinely curious how you handled the cannon-over-leg cross. I went with a hidden socket through the upper leg armor; not sure it's the cleanest solution but it printed. Sculpted in Blender. Printed on grey resin. Open to questions about the workflow specifically — happy to nerd out on the cut planning.Hashtags: 3dprinting, 3dprintedminiatures, miniaturesculpting, miniature, miniaturepainting, tabletopgaming, tabletopminiatures, dnd, dungeonsanddragons, dndminiatures, wargaming, wargamingminiatures, grimdark, darkfantasy, fantasyart, characterdesign, conceptart, sculpting, blender3d, resinprinting, stl, stlfiles, indieartist, ossariumhunters, barbarossminiature, bossminiature, miniatureboss
